Chapter 1062: Ice and Fire

"Flare Neos's attack!"

Flare Neos's armored right arm was raised high, as if countless internal magma vein energy conduits were transmitting heat. The oxygen around him seemed to be instantly drained, forming a vacuum vortex centered on his palm. The fire elements wandering in the air gathered together, turning into a huge burning ball of light.

That fireball was as scorching and bright as the sun, and the surface was constantly rolling with magma-like flames. As he swung his arm violently, the fireball roared towards Volcasaurus. At the moment of collision, a deafening roar erupted between heaven and earth, and the dazzling fire light rushed into the sky, illuminating the entire field like daylight. The shock wave generated by the explosion set off rolling heat waves, a huge scorched pit was blown out of the ground, and the surrounding rocks were melted into crimson magma at high temperature.

Fire against fire, cosmic hero against numbered monster.

The flames continued to burn for a long time before gradually subsiding, the air was filled with scorching breath, and the magma on the ground was still flowing slowly, making a "hissing" sound.

Of course, when the flames dissipated, although Volcasaurus looked embarrassed, it still stood tall.

Taniguchi had a dark face: "Volcasaurus is a 'No.' monster and cannot be destroyed by monsters other than 'No.'"

"I know," Judai said, "But battle damage still needs to be calculated."

Taniguchi: "Tch."

【Taniguchi, LP4000 -> LP1500】

Although it relied on the Number advantage to block this blow and avoid being destroyed, the damage of a 5000-ATK fireball was still very heavy.

"Well, this is just right..." Taniguchi said in a deep voice, "Activate the face-down card, Trap Card 'Damage Gate'!

When I take battle damage, I can Special Summon a monster from the Graveyard with ATK less than or equal to the damage amount."

Judai: "Is that so? The damage taken is 2500, so that means you can summon any monster in the Graveyard at will."

"Not bad, I Special Summon 'Otherworldly Thorn Dragon' from the Graveyard!"

【Otherworldly Thorn Dragon, ATK 2200】

"Then my turn is over," Judai said. "During the End Phase, because the Field Magic 'Neo Space' is on the field, Flare Neos does not need to return to the Extra Deck."

Neo Space is a spring, equivalent to the Plasma Spark Tower to the M78 civil servants, which can make a true man who originally only had three minutes become infinitely durable.

Taniguchi: "My turn, draw!"

His movements paused slightly, and he sneered: "You actually dared to keep a high-ATK monster like Flare Neos in front of my Volcasaurus... You must think that my Volcasaurus's Xyz materials have been used up and can't destroy your Flare Neos with its effect, right?"

"Yeah," Judai admitted generously, "Xyz monsters must remove Xyz materials to activate effects, and Volcasaurus only has two materials and they have been used up, so now it's just a wall that cannot be destroyed."

"Hmph... For someone who hasn't been in contact with Xyz, you understand quite quickly," Taniguchi sneered. "Generally speaking, that's indeed the case, but my Number power is higher than that!

I release the monster set face-down on the field, Tribute Summon!

Appear, the second 'Otherworldly Thorn Beast'!"

【Otherworldly Thorn Beast, ATK 1100】

"Otherworldly Thorn Dragon and Otherworldly Thorn Beast..." Judai frowned, "Two Level 5 monsters gathered again, could it be..."

"Exactly!"

Taniguchi laughed loudly.

"I overlay Level 5 'Otherworldly Thorn Dragon' and Level 5 'Otherworldly Thorn Beast'!" The two monsters turned into two dazzling light beams, one gold and one purple, and rushed straight to the clouds like meteors. They intersected at the highest point, then turned into a spiral light stream and dived down, slamming into the energy vortex that suddenly appeared on the ground. The vortex churned violently, erupting with dazzling white light, illuminating the entire field.

"Two monsters build an overlay network, Xyz Summon—

—No. 19 Freezadon!!!"

The glowing number of "No. 19" slowly emerged in the aftermath of the explosion, and every stroke exuded bone-chilling cold. In an instant, the temperature plummeted, and countless tiny ice crystals condensed in the air. These ice crystals seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, gathering rapidly in mid-air, first forming sharp ice claws, then a long tail covered in spikes, and finally a body covered in heavy ice armor.

With a deafening dragon roar, No. 19 Freezadon fully appeared. It was entirely composed of crystal-clear ice, and every scale reflected cold blue light. The dragon head was raised high, and the white gas exhaled from its mouth instantly froze the surrounding ground. When it unfolded its ice wings, countless ice chips drifted with the wind, as if it wanted to turn the world into a silver-clad ice and snow domain.

【No. 19 Freezadon, ATK 2000】

"The second 'No.'!"

Judai looked at the "No. 19" appearing on Taniguchi's body, his aura increased by a large margin again, and the two dragons, one ice and one fire, seemed to be echoing each other, and he was very surprised in his heart.

Is one soul possessed by two "No." at the same time?

"So comfortable, so comfortable, the power of two No.! Now I am invincible!"

Taniguchi roared hoarsely.

"Activate Freezadon's effect! Remove an Xyz material, and you can revive the Xyz materials of an Xyz monster on your field!" (Original effect)

The real card was changed to being able to pull materials from Freezadon to replace when a teammate wants to activate an effect. In other words, Freezadon can give teammates two more Xyz materials.

But the animation is different. Freezadon in the animation removes one material to revive two materials of a teammate; in other words, Freezadon's two materials are equivalent to giving Volcasaurus four more Xyz materials.

Volcasaurus has gained ammunition for four consecutive explosions per turn, and it is more than enough to OTK the opponent's two lives in one turn!

"Volcasaurus's Xyz materials have been revived!" Yubel said in a deep voice, "It's a bit dangerous, Judai."

"I know that too..."

"It's over, Judai Yuki!"

Taniguchi laughed loudly.

"Volcasaurus's effect! Remove an Xyz material, destroy a monster on the opponent's field, and deal damage to the opponent equal to the ATK of that monster!

Destroy 'Elemental HERO Flare Neos'! Take the ATK of your own monster, 5000 damage!"

Volcasaurus bit off another Xyz material, and the destructive flames erupted towards Flare Neos!

Judai: "Activate face-down card, Quick-Play Magic 'Contact Out'!"

"Release the fusion of the Neos Fusion monster on my field, and Special Summon the Fusion Material monsters from the deck!"

At the critical moment, Flare Neos split into two, turning back into Neos and Flare Scarab. The two landed on Judai's side, one left and one right, crossing their arms to block the field.

【Elemental HERO Neos, DEF 2000】

【Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab, DEF 500】
